PENNSYLVANIA JAYCEES….
LET ME HEAR YOU ROAR!!
In Jaycee Spirit,
Sherry Cracium, 71st President
From the Desk of:
Senate Vice President
Hello from the PA Senate!
I heard the following story and thought how
appropriately it explains our Jaycee chapters. We as
Jaycees and Senators are here to make a difference.
We as Jaycees and Senators can and do take the
time to make a difference in the lives of those in our
community. We are here to reconnect to our
communities and chapters, to help make memories
of a lifetime, to give back where we are able. To
show humanity where it is lacking to give
encouragement where it is needed. That is what we
do because we are Jaycees!
I hope you enjoy this story and thank you for your
time,
Yours in Jaycee Spirit,
Jackie Cornelius
PA Jaycee Senate Vice-President
Senator #63011

WAY TO GO! You all make Pennsylvania proud!
Subject: Two Choices
What would you do?....you
make the choice. Don't
look for a punch line,
there isn't one. Read it
anyway. My question is: Would you have made the
same choice?
At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves
learning-disabled children, the father of one of the
students delivered a speech that would never be
forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the
school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:
"When not interfered with by outside influences,
everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my
son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He
cannot understand things as other children do. Where
is the natural order of things in my son?"
The audience was stilled by the query.
The father continued. "I believe that when a child like
Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into
the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature
presents itself, and it comes in the way other people
treat that child."
Then he told the following story:
Shay and his father had walked past a park where
some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay
asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's
father knew that most of the boys would not want
someone like Shay on their team, but the father also
understood that if his son were allowed to play, it
would give him a much-needed sense of belonging
and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite
of his handicaps.
Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field
and asked (not expecting much) if
Shay could play. The boy looked around
for guidance and said, "We're losing by six
runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I
guess he can be on our team and we'll try
to put him in to bat in the ninth inning."
Shay struggled over to the team's bench
and, with a broad smile, put on a team
shirt. His Father watched with a small tear
in his eye and warmth in his heart. The
boys saw the father's joy at his son being
accepted. In the bottom of the eighth
inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but
was still behind by three. In the top of the
ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and
played in the right field. Even though no
hits came his way, he was obviously
ecstatic just to be in the game and on the
field, grinning from ear to ear as his father
waved to him from the stands. In the
bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team
scored again. Now, w with two outs and
the bases loaded, the potential winning run
was on base and Shay was scheduled to be
next at bat.
At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and
give away their chance to win the game?
Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat.
Everyone knew that a hit was all but
impossible because Shay didn't even
know how to hold the bat properly,
much less connect with the ball.
However, as Shay stepped up to the plate,
the pitcher, recognizing that the other team
was putting winning aside for this moment
in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob
the ball in softly so Shay could at least
make contact. The first pitch came and
Shay swung clumsily and missed. The
pitcher again took a few steps forward to
toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the
pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and
hit a slow ground ball right back to the
pitcher.
The game would now be over. The pitcher
picked up the soft grounder and could have
easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.
Shay would have been out and that would
have been the end of the game.
Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right
over the first baseman's head, out of reach
of all team mates. Everyone from the
stands and both teams started yelling,
"Shay, run to first! Run to first!" Never in
his life had Shay ever run that far, but he
made it to first base. He scampered down
the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.
Everyone yelled, "Run to second, run to
second!" Catching his breath, Shay
awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming
and struggling to make it to the base. By
the time Shay rounded towards second
base, the right fielder had the ball ... the
smallest guy on their team who now had
his first chance to be the hero for his team.
He could have thrown the ball to the
second-baseman for the tag, but he
understood the pitcher's intentions so he,
too, intentionally threw the ball high and
far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran
toward third base deliriously as the runners
ahead of him ci rcled the bases toward
home.
All were screaming, "Shay, Shay,
Shay, all the Way Shay"
Shay reached third base because the
opposing shortstop ran to help him
by turning him in the direction of
third base, and shouted, "Run to
third! Shay, run to third!"
As Shay rounded third, the boys from both
teams, and the spectators, were on their
feet screaming, "Shay, run home! Run
home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on the
plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit
the grand slam and won the game for his
team.
"That day", said the father softly with tears
now rolling down his face, "the boys from
both teams helped bring a piece of true
love and humanity into this world".
Shay didn't make it to another summer. He
died that winter, having never forgotten
being the hero and making his father so
happy, and coming home and seeing his
Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of
the day!

For those arriving Friday evening, we are planning a fun, social activity. On Saturday evening, we’ll be heading into

 Pennsylvania Jaycee Creed
We Believe:
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life.

That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;

That economic justice can best be won by

free men through free enterprise;

That government should be of laws rather than of men;

That earth's great treasure lies in human personality;

And that service to humanity is the best work of life.

Deadline for the next issue of the PA Jaycee newsletter:
